730 Words3 Pages

Imagine being viewed by the world as different. Wouldn’t you want the people around you to understand? A 12-year-old boy diagnosed with autism was told he was not equal to his classmates. He had a hard time identifying social cues and a difficult time speaking, thus he was labeled “weird” and “an outsider”. The young boy did not like the way he was feeling or being treated so he decided to do something about it. He knew his peers did not know or understand anything about the subject of Autism. So, on Autism Awareness Day he asked his teacher if it would be alright to share a powerpoint covering the topic of autism. This opened everyone up to a whole new world. He started to become accepted as a student just like them. He even made some friends along the way. Not only did he help people understand just him, but all the other students attending his school with autism.

These children and families are calling for your help. And with it, you can be today 's hero. With your help, and the help of others, anything is possible. As my mom always tells me, change starts with you. Will you be the one to help that one lonely child on the school bus? Will you be the one to help that young 12-year-old boy and all those like him find a friend and be understood? Will you be the one to improve the lives of those with autism today and be better than ever

Accountable research studies also admit there is a lack of research in defining autism itself claiming, “There has been limited and conflicting evidence regarding the prevalence of adults diagnosed with ASD (Such information has been difficult to measure reliably because, (a) lack of access to support services often leaves adults with ASD underrepresented in the literature and underserved in their communities, and (b) many older adults currently served in the IDD system have a primary diagnosis of developmental disabilities (DD) and may not necessarily have an autism diagnosis even though they present with the symptoms.

You brought up an interesting topic that I usually find very fasinating.

Self-Consciousness In High School

1075 Words | 5 Pages

To a 13-year-old teenager in high school, who you are means everything. You are the outfit you decide to wear to school, the way your hair sits on your head, the way you read a passage in class, and the speed at which you walk in the halls. Other students know when you wear the same shirt twice, get a bad and embarrassing haircut, or mispronounce a word while you read a passage aloud, and they will call you out for it. They will comment on the attributes that you are most sensitive about—ones you may not be able to control—making you dread walking in the halls alone. Self-consciousness develops with every move you make and every word you say.
